Top Requirements in a Teacher/Tutor

We’ve run a small survey across a number of Teacher and Home Ed FaceBook groups, asking the question: ‘What is the most important quality, to you, in a successful teacher/tutor?’ (with 130 replies) Here is what we found!..

Top 6 qualities, as suggested by Home Educators:

  • Passion – 18%
  • Patience – 15%
  • Empathy – 15%
  • Flexibility – 10%
  • Kindness – 10%
  • Home Ed experience – 8%

Top 6 qualities, as suggested by Teachers:

  • Empathy – 18%
  • Builds relationships – 15%
  • Passion – 14%
  • Sense of humour – 13%
  • Patience – 12%
  • Respectful – 10%

Are these qualities important to you? They are all important to us, and are traits Kate and Caitlin bring to every course (and our students/parents agree, if you read our reviews). We hope that with whatever courses and tutors you use along your home educating journey, you find these qualities too!
